Article Information
| Background | Sexual assault has been a 'trendy' topic in the media in Ottawa lately. |
| Reason | The Fulcrum was looking to do a lengthy piece about the prevalence of sexual assault stories in Ottawa. Is the increased coverage because there have been more assaults? Are attitudes changing? What are the impacts of the stories? And whose stories are being told? |
| Comment | It's so encouraging to see lengthy articles about sexual assault, particularly in a campus paper. I think it's a great piece, with a really critical analysis of the media coverage. It's also really well written. |
| Outcome | Always great to see critical voices getting exposure! |
